Horses for Nevada.

Nevada is well adapted to raising
horses aud the ouly question one need
ask is what style of animal is the most
snleable. The runty little scrub, that
result from letti ny animals take their
own chauces ms the Indians do, will
never be profitable here or anywhere
else. Outside OF race horses there are
three kinds just MS easily raised ~
scrubs, and they nro always salenble.
The best is the large handsome carriage
horses that are sought for by city people;
another is n heavy aud strong draft
animal; and the ihiri is the stocky,

THE SISTERS HOSPITAL.
work Performed and Patients
Treated by DIR. HannoR,

j synopsis Of the work that has
teen done at the Sisters Hos pital has
been prepared by DR.. Ramon who has
charge of the institution. Out of eighty
six cases of diseases Of the lungs only
two were due to pneumonia. The
rest were cases of consumption, which
had developed in the East, and sixteen
of the cases showed no signs of the
dread disease returning. The amount
Of typhoid is not pleasant, and shows
something is wrong. The Doctor, as
far as he could trace the history OF
those under his notice, thinks that a
great many cases are brought on by
people, chiefly newcomers, not wear
ing sufficiently heavy clothing. par
ticularly in the evening. Nearly
one-half OF them came to
the hospital from the sur
rounding towns, and they lived in
tents without fires; still, according to
the population, the ratio is small.
The typo-malarial and all malari4l
cases are strangers who come from
malarial districts. The report, when
made out for the year, as it is intend
ed to be done, will throw great deal
of light on the influence Of climate on
disease, particularly on those affec-
tons of the lungs for which this eli
mate is Justly famed. The doctor en-
phasizes the fact that too many come
from the East almost in dying con-
dition. No less than five such cases
were fatal inside of twenty-four hours
after entering the hospital.
Following is a statistical report
carefully prepared by DIR. Cannon:
